Glitched up stuck projectile that can kill people

[Lord Tony²]

So whenever I throw this knife sometimes it sticks to an object at a certain angle. At this point you hear loud repeated sword hit audio files and anyone who touches the weapon on the ground gets damaged by it.

How can I fix this?

I want the projectile to stick to objects but I don't want this weird glitch to occur.

I was able to fix this with -5 elasticity and 5 friction but now it says I can't do that anymore. I was able to do that before I changed the name.

I guess you didn't like my model :s

what about the projectile::onhitobject
or something, i'm not good with datablocks

The range of friction and elasticity is limited from 0 to 1. Friction controls how much momentum is lost with each bounce, and elasticity controls how high it bounces. I presume it is defaulting the values to 0 elasticity and 1 friction. The arrow uses an elasticity of 0.2 and a friction of 0.1, so try those values.
